Those looking to get an Oculus Rift and pair of Touch controllers can now do so for under USD $600, as Oculus has slashed the price of its Rift/Touch bundle by USD $200.

In addition to discounting its Rift/Touch bundle to USD $598, Oculus also announced that a standalone set of Touch controllers also just got much cheaper, thanks to a discount that halves the original price down to USD $99.

Additionally, Epic Games announced during its "State of Unreal" session today at GDC that its VR shooter Robo Recall is free on Touch and now available for download via the Oculus Store. The company also unveiled the Robo Recall Mod Kit, a free mod editor that allows players to create and share new weapons, characters and maps.

Last month at DICE 2017, Oculus VP of Content Jason Rubin discussed the importance of driving down the price of Rift to increase the rate of adoption, saying they "knocked it out of the park" when it comes to the quality of the headset, it just needs to be less expensive in order to appeal to a broader market.
